We enjoyed hanging out in The Green Room and meeting Matt Baker (particularly for our Sop player Mat Baker) and Alex Jones!

Although this was a trip down memory lane for Sir Terry, its all very current for the band as we are currently rehearsing to perform the piece amongst many others as part of a production in The Questors Theatre, Ealing of the popular film adaptation Brassed Off Continue reading “Fulham Brass Band on THE ONE SHOW”

This morning the lucky listeners of BBC Radio London woke up to hear our very own MD Simon Jones talk about Fulham Brass Band and our upcoming contest in Stevanage this Sunday 18th March LIVE on The Breakfast Show hosted by Gaby Roslin and Paul Ross. It’s fair to say he gave listeners a bit of background about the Regional Brass Band Contests that are taking place all over the UK during Feb/March and the Brass Band movement in general.

There was even a couple of sound clips of the band playing, prodominently featuring Mick Dawson, Ally Crowther and Clare Jenneson
